What’s Scratch?

A young bride was scouring the aisles of the supermarket.

Up and down each aisle she went, then started over again. The store manager noticed this and went over to her.

“Can I help you find something, miss?” he asked.

“It’s Mrs.,” she said proudly, “I just got married.”

“Congratulations,” said the manager. “What can I help you find?”

“Scratch,” she replied.

“Scratch?” he asked, “Is that a new cleanser or something?”

“No silly,” she replied brightly. “My husband told me that his mother made everything from scratch, so I need to find some!”

John and Tony were in a bar, pondering over Tony’s problems.

“Andrea and I want to get married,” said Tony, “but we can’t find anywhere to live.”

“Why don’t you live with Andrea’s parents for a while?” suggested John.

“We can’t do that,” said Tony, “they’re living with their parents for a while, too.”

A woman in a supermarket is following a grandfather and his badly-behaved grandson.

He has his hands full with the child screaming for sweets, snacks, all sorts of things.

The grandad is saying in a controlled voice:“Easy, William, we won’t be long… easy boy.”

Another outburst and she hears the grandad calmly say “It’s okay William. Just a couple more minutes and we’ll be out of here. Hang in there, boy.”

At the checkout the little horror is throwing items out of the cart. Grandad says again in a controlled voice :“William, William, relax buddy, don’t get upset. We’ll be home in five minutes, stay cool William.”

Very impressed, she goes outside to where the grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car.

She says : “It’s none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don’t know how you did it. That whole time you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his grandad.”

“Thanks,” says the grandpa. “But I am William. The little bugger’s name is Kevin!”

A new supermarket opened in San Antonio, Texas.

It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh.

Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing, and there is the scent of freshly mowed hay.

In the meat department, there is the aroma of charcoal-grilled steaks with onions.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens clucking and cackling, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The bread department features the tantalizing smell of freshly-baked bread and cookies.

I don’t buy toilet paper there anymore!

A man was telling his co-worker one day that the company was transferring him to Chicago.

He explained that he was going to quit before he had to move there. When asked why, he replied that he was just too afraid of all the crime even though he would be passing up a big salary increase and greater benefits.

His co-worker said he should reconsider. Chicago was a magnificent city, with world class museums, loaded with a great history, sites, good public transportation, etc.

Then he said: “Why I myself worked in Chicago for almost 10 years, and in all that time I never ever had a problem with crime while I was working.”

The first asked “What did you do there?”

To which the other replied, “I was tail-gunner on a bread truck.”

A young man hired by a supermarket reported for his first day of work.

The manager greeted him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him a broom and said, “Your first job will be to sweep out the store.”

“But I’m a college graduate,” the young man replied indignantly.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that,” said the manager. “Here, give me the broom – I’ll show you how.”
